I have been fighting with the DSC IT-100 for a couple days now and from the looks on the board there are a bunch of other users that have this combination and it should not be as big of a problem as i am having so i decided to plead for help!
I am using a QM-RMC next to my panel. I verified that the cable is good by plugging it into a laptop and opening a putty session. When i reboot the security system, i can see the date and time so the baud rate is 9600 still and i can see the numbers coming through when i open a window or a door. So the IT-100 is spitting out the feedback.
On the crestron side, i am grabbing all of the data from the output of the panel [rx$] = DSC_rx$ and watching toolbox to see if anything pops, but getting nothing. I also saw that according to the development kit, each line should end with a 0D0A hex so i am using a Serial Gather to try to correctly split up the data that is coming out of the DSC, but nothing is showing in toolbox. Is there some crazy step i am missing when configuring the QM-RMC com port?
I did try my luck with a gefen matrix using the same QM-RMC to make sure that it was not the defect part, and i was able to get feedback and send commands to the gefen so i am thinking that the QM-RMC is OK and its just a configuration step i am missing someplace.
Thanks for the help!

Have done a tone of DSC and have never had any problems. You're using the DSC Power Series module in Crestron? I know that after I do an upload, I won't get anything from the alarm panel until I arm and disarm it, then it's fine.

Let me give that a try and see if it corrects the issue. What serial settings do you use on the QM-RMC? Right now i have it set at
Baud Rate - 9600
Data Bits - 8
Stop Bits - 1
Parity - N
Comm.Std - (RS232)
Handshaking - HW - None
Handshaking - SW - None
Thanks again!

Thanks again! It doesn't matter what processor. The settings you have are correct for the RS232 port. How far away are you from the DSC panel to the processor?

i think i have a 7ft serial cable from the QM-RMC to the IT-100.
When i plug it into a laptop and open a putty session with COM1, i see the output from the IT-100. It is just when it is connected to the QM that it does not seem to be working correctly.
Grrrrr... :)

I've done serial connections to the IT-100 over 100' without issue. If you want to send me the SIMPL file I can take a look to see if I can find any issues. Send me an RC mail with your email address if you're interested.

You're using the DSC Power Series module in Crestron? Please answer this question. It will help us, help you.

yes i am using the DSC Power Series module from crestron.
Even if i was not using that module, i should still be able to see the serial output from the QM-RMC right? if i put a variable name (DSC_rx$) in there and watch it in Simple Debugger?
sending your PM now kgossen.
Thanks
Eric

Are you using Port B on the QM-RMC?
If so is the port set in Console mode?
That would prevent you from seeing data

That would make perfect sense as to why there's no feedback.

Thank you all for the ideas. I have it plugged into Port A and i have tried a couple different cable combinations from null modem to straight through but still not seeing anything coming in my DSC_rx$ (From DSC) like i am thinking i should.
On the other hand, i did just notice that all of the zones i have (32) look to be showing the correct signal in the debugger and the other 32 that i do not have on my system are all showing low so it looks like there is some communication going on after all. But for some reason, when i open a door, i do not see any changes in the toolbox.
I am going to start from scratch on the DSC program to see if i missed a step there. Thank you all for the help. I will post up my findings.

It's definitely a straight through serial cable. Who installed the IT-100? It could be a alarm programming issue.

I remember something about how the IT-100 had to be addressed in the alarm programming for it to work properly.
